Positively Palermo has received a question about the strange smell outside at Palermo and elsewhere in Palm Springs. Any ideas? Miss Penny Lane says: She's indoors these anyway.

I think it is from the Salton Sea, I copied this from a tv station website ----- SALTON SEA, Calif. - There's something in the air at the Salton Sea. This time of year, it typically stinks. And residents are taking notice.
"I've been here 25 years -- I have not gotten used to it," said Julie Garbutt, a North Shore resident.
Garbutt lit up incense at her family's liquor store to deal with the stench.
"It was making me sick -- giving me a headache. I had to block it out," Garbutt said.
Some believe the smell is a sign another fish-kill is on the way.
Dead fish are washing ashore at the Salton Sea. So far, it's nothing like the typical die-off -- when millions of tilapia clog harbors.
"So far the die-off from the fish hasn't been that bad, this year. Last year, there was a lot of dead fish," said North Shore resident Teresa Castro.
Die-offs are caused by the heat triggering algae blooms that sap oxygen from the water, create a "green tide", and send fish floating to the surface.
People living around the Salton Sea watch and wait -- and hope for the best.
"We just expect it every year. We are really looking forward to a good year when we don't have our fish die off," said North Shore resident Linda Lemus.
